Adam & Jesse co-composed the MIDI ALBUM, an album of tear jerking, brain melting original compositions for MIDI, that will make your butt happy.

Statement:

Most MIDI files play uninvited while web surfing and are distasteful renditions of popular songs. ‘The Midi Album’s mission was to make great songs explicitly FOR the MIDI format, not second grade lo-fi versions of already existing highly produced songs. All tracks were composed and arranged in Anvil Studio, using PC Midi soundsets.
